Honest men in New jersey, without regard
n to politics, will watch with interest the out
come of Governor Abbett's attempt to thrust
himself into the United States Senate by the
aid of tw o stDlen seats in the Legislature, one
from the Camden district and one from the
Mercer district. His duty as Governor plainly
'reuui.es him to call special election in Mer-
Ger and to throw his moral influence against the
seating of a Democrat from Camden. Mr..
Albeit however, does not mind such little
thing as an evasion of the election laws and if
be does not succeed in this little job to control
The Legislature in his own interest, it will prob
ably be because Nh. Walters, OF Mercer, refuses

Some of the citizens of Chicago and its
suburbs are evidently tired OF the way their
police authorities have recently shiIked the
dirty of Ike epng the peace and the result of

attending strictly to his business and had his eyes
6xed on the train not far in advance of him.
There vas no mole reason in arresting them

Park Commissioner Powers talks in an inter
eating way when he gets started. He speaks
with calm philosophy of the peculiar Norgani-
ration " which attempts TO ignore HIM, but per-
baps the people of the city could be better
pleased if the other members of the Board
would assign some valid reason for the singular
treatment of ono of their colleagues. 1t does
not appear that the character or capacity of Mr..
Powers has Leen questioned. He is gentle
man of means and large business experience,
and il not without friends among our most
.public-spiriied citizens. Upon disputed points
Of Park management he has usually voted on
